Electronic Game Card Cleared for Tribal Casino Sales3 August 2005NEW YORK – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Electronic Game Card, Inc (OTCBB: EGMI), the US rewards based games company, today confirmed that they have received a communication from Gaming Laboratories International ( GLI ) that effectively clears the way for the sale of Electronic Game Card's GameCards to Indian Casino visitors on Tribal Lands. This communication follows the recent Opinion of the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) that EGC's Tribal Numbers(TM) GameCards qualify as a Class II device under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act - subject to GLI consent. John Bentley, CEO of Electronic Game Card, Inc., commented, "GLI clearance represents a significant stepping stone in accessing this substantial new market. Having already secured the firm interest and sponsorship from Tribes for achieving this, we are delighted that our GameCards can now be made available for sale to the public on Tribal Lands. We believe that the confidence already being shown in the security and innovative design and uses of EGC gamecards by lottery operators - as well the success of the cards with the public - will now be reflected in Indian Country." The Indian Gaming development coincides with an EGC GameCard product winning the Public Gaming Research Institute's "most innovative lottery product of the year" award at the recent PGRI 2005 EXPO/ILAC Conference in Las Vegas. Electronic Game Card is due to launch its Tribal Numbers sales and marketing campaign at the major G2E gaming show in Las Vegas on the 12th-15th September 2005. |
